The way I did it was to let the cards fall where they may. In other words, I
trained a point in each and played the way I normally play. If my
specialization:Evocation had made it first, then obviously it was the one
that was used most often, and should be the one that got the benefits of
specialization. As luck would have it, my playstyle emphasized Alteration,
so that's what my specialty is in. That actually surprised me, given the
fact that the Mesmerize line of spells is Conjuration, and I use those very
heavily. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that specializing in
Alteration might be a good idea for Enchanters, but it may not be for ALL
Enchanters.
